Flu: These are COVID symptoms, however, you have 2 options. The first is to get tested to confirm or rule out coronavirus, which would be the best thing to do in case you have to go to work. The second one is to isolate yourself for 3 weeks just in case it is coronavirus. No matter what you do, remember that if you have a fever that won't go away, or difficulty breathing, you must go to the ER.
